With my spy glass I could make out a stone foundation ringing the entire island upon which a tall palisade had been built. The palisade looked to have...several watchtowers situated around its top and while much of what lay in the village was obscured by the towering walls, it was obvious to anyone that it was a crowded busy place. Columns of smoke could be seen rising towards the heavens suggesting fires around which people were probably gathered. More importantly I spotted on the main road. The door was partially open as Robert pushed on it and said “Teresa, everything ok, it’s me Rob.” Teresa replied quietly “I’m sorry Robert, I don’t know what go into me.” He found her on the sofa with an ashamed look.

I was introduced; hugged, kissed and caressed by all three gentlemen. They set up the card game and Jerry whispered for me to go with it and enjoy....that it.
